Hi everyone,

Just wanna let you know that I'm back and working on models again but I need a bit of time to finish some global updates. The few posts from september might have given another impression but I did pretty much nothing during my break.

Releases will probably resume somewhere next week. 

What I'm currently working on is "under the hood" stuff that I can't necessarily showcase but here's a few :

- made some progress with transferring the G9 textures to G8. I lost some time on trial and error as I'm still experimenting. It also requires some manual fixing. So far I have the specular and a good portion of normal maps done.

- updated the body materials for upcoming models to take into account those new textures.

- made some changes to the UI, adding some dropdown menus to make it less cluttered by default (extras collections for instance can be folded now).

- removed something like 50 drivers for morphs on my default body, and updated the UI to read both old and new morphs addresses. It may or may not improve performance a little bit...it's a step anyway.

- fixed an armature issue causing toe bones not moving because of constraints' parameters

- fixed the elf ears selection from the UI because it was not working.

- duplicated all the previous changes on the 4.0 version of the UI.

This will lead to the first shared textures update since about a year.

Cheers

How often do you check how things work on the older models? I ask because I'm finding several features that aren't working on the Becca model, namely the IK/FK. For the life of me, no matter what combination of IK/FK buttons I toggle, her knees won't bend, and most of the body movements are FK, but not all. Since I'm asking questions, what's the workaround to not have to "External Data -> Find Missing Files" (twice, for the default textures, and then again for the model specific textures)? Thank you!

Just tried it actually, works perfectly fine. Now if only there was a place where I answer questions...questions that would be asked often...could such a place exist ?

can never have too much fixes and improvements also looking forward to the new normal textures

The new normals offer much more details than the current ones that's for sure.
